a smashing victory because they only lost the two dozen targeted districts by a few points instead of the usual 20%+

how can they broadcast naked propaganda like this?

Jeffrey Mark Goldberg (born September 22, 1965) is an American journalist and the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. During his nine years at The Atlantic prior to becoming editor, Goldberg became known for his coverage of foreign affairs. He has won many awards and written eleven cover stories for the magazine.

He attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he was editor-in-chief of The Daily Pennsylvanian.[5] While at Penn he worked at the Hillel kitchen serving lunch to students. He left college to move to Israel, where he served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a prison guard during the First Intifada at Ktzi'ot Prison, a prison camp set up to hold arrested Palestinian participants in the uprising. There he met Rafiq Hijazi, a Palestine Liberation Organization leader, college math teacher and devout Muslim from a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, whom Goldberg describes as "the only Palestinian I could find in Ketziot who understood the moral justification for Zionism".[5]

In 2002, Goldberg's "The Great Terror" published in The New Yorker argued that the threat posed to America by Saddam Hussein was significant, discussing the possible connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda as well as the Iraqi nuclear program, averring that there was "some debate among arms-control experts about exactly when Saddam will have nuclear capabilities. But there is no disagreement that Iraq, if unchecked, will have them soon...There is little doubt what Saddam might do with an atomic bomb or with his stocks of biological and chemical weapons."[45]

In a late 2002 debate in Slate on the question "Should the U.S. invade Iraq, Goldberg argued in favor of an invasion on a moral basis, writing, "So: Saddam Hussein is uniquely evil, the only ruler in power today—and the first one since Hitler—to commit chemical genocide. Is that enough of a reason to remove him from power? I would say yes, if "never again" is in fact actually to mean "never again."[73]

Glenn Greenwald called Goldberg "one of the leading media cheerleaders for the attack on Iraq", claiming Goldberg had "compiled a record of humiliating falsehood-dissemination in the run-up to the war that rivaled Judy Miller's both in terms of recklessness and destructive impact."[74] In 2008, in an article in Slate entitled "How Did I Get Iraq Wrong?", Goldberg explained the reasons behind his initial support of the Iraq War and wrote that he "didn't realize how incompetent the Bush administration could be."[75]

of all the people to cultivate that level of blind devotion hillary is the most baffling to me

like she wasn't an inspirational figure like obama, nor did she have her husband's innate ability to read a room nor his populist appeal

the clinton patronage system is a real thing, but that was more tied to bill than her. and none of these clods would ever in a million years come within sniffing range of them; they're just regular assholes like the rest of us

and to still desperately cling to her as some sort of grand leader of the anti-trump resistance when she pretty much hosed off immediately after the election back to her club of wealthy donor friends where she's clearly much more in her element. it genuinely beggars belief

hillary absolutely became a sympathetic figure in the 90s because she was a nonstop target of a mountain of sexist bullshit from limbaugh and a bunch of the other worst people in the country.

i actually had a positive view of her mostly because of that up until the 2008 primary when she went extremely racist against obama

the funny thing there is her public favorability declined pretty rapidly in the wake of the lewinksy scandal

let's have a look at one of the couple dozen house districts dems are targeting next year on the false hope given by the fact clinton outperformed the congressional race in each

quote:

The founder of a new vodka distillery is challenging U.S. Rep. George Holding of Raleigh.

Sam Searcy, a 40-year-old Holly Springs resident and a Democrat, planned to announce his candidacy Monday.

“I feel like our representation in North Carolina’s 2nd District is completely out of touch with what people go through in the district,” said Searcy, who has four young children. “My set of life experiences and business experiences are a better fit. I understand what people go through. I’ve been at the table when you’re trying to figure out how to afford to put your second kid in day care.”

...

Searcy is hoping to present a contrast with Holding, who comes from a prominent banking family in the Triangle and who the Center for Responsive Politics estimates is worth more than $6 million.

...

Searcy grew up in Hendersonville in the western part of the state in a working-class family that, at times, struggled to pay their bills, he said. He graduated from Appalachian State – the first in his family to graduate from a four-year college, he said – before earning his law degree at the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma.
...

Searcy said he decided to run for public office because of accountability and accessibility, complaining that Holding took a trip to Sri Lanka instead of holding a town hall meeting during the lead-up to the House’s vote on the American Health Care Act. Holding traveled to India and Sri Lanka on government business during the recess in late February.

“How much more out of touch can you be?” Searcy said.

okay, not terrible so far. guy from modest background criticizing rich banker for hiding from public isn't the worst angle to take

what else is there to know ab-

quote:

He moved back to the Triangle and worked in clinical research before deciding to open Greybeard Distillery and produce Bedlam Vodka with two other owners. Searcy said the vodka, produced from rice, is available in all North Carolina ABC stores and was shipped to the ESPYs, ESPN’s annual awards show which will air Tuesday. He said the company now has about 10 employees.

“It’s a testament to the business community here in this area, in North Carolina. It’s very vibrant and vigorous. It allows successful businesses to take off. I’ve enjoyed being in the private sector,” Searcy said. “I want to take that private sector experience right into Washington.”

...

Searcy, who said he has been a Democrat since he has been able to vote, said he changed his registration to unaffiliated to vote for Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the 2016 Republican primary.

oh lord

but wait, they totally buried the lede

quote:

Searcy is not the first Democratic challenger in the district, which covers much of northern, southern and eastern Wake County, western Johnston County and parts of Harnett, Franklin, Nash and Wilson counties.

Wendy Ella May, a transgender woman, announced her candidacy as a Democrat in May. May, a disabled military veteran from Johnston County, calls herself a “New Deal Progressive Democrat” and was a Bernie Sanders delegate at the Democratic National Convention.
